You mean, like this?

    MACHINE := $(shell uname -s)

    ifeq "Linux" "$(MACHINE)"
      # Linux variables
    endif

    ifeq "..." "$(MACHINE)"
      # Solaris variables, but I don't know what 'uname -s' returns
      # on Solaris!
    endif

There are lots of ways to identify a system; for example, on Linux you
can look at the contents of /etc/*release or /proc/cpuinfo.
